Summary - 54 HOLMBURY GROVE CROYDON CR0 9AP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Refurbished flat with garage and fast trains to central London.
First-floor, one-bedroom flat with Juliet balcony and communal gardens
Light-filled and sensibly laid out, this newly renovated one-bedroom flat sits on the first floor of a mid‑century block in leafy Forestdale. The open-plan reception and kitchen benefit from tall glazing and a Juliet balcony that looks onto well-kept communal gardens, while the west-facing bedroom is quietly positioned to the front. The fit-out uses practical, hard-wearing finishes including cork and marmoleum, and integrated appliances are provided.
Practical ownership is straightforward: share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease (approx. 975 years) and a low annual service charge of about £1,082. A private single garage en bloc is included — a rare bonus for this price bracket — and fast public transport links are close by, with East Croydon reachable via Gravel Hill tram stop and services to central London in around 13–15 minutes.
Notable negatives are clear and factual. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas central heating, which can affect running costs and comfort compared with modern gas systems. Crime levels in the area are reported as above average. The building is mid‑20th century and, while the flat has been refurbished, buyers should bear in mind typical ongoing maintenance and the age of communal elements (flat roof and brick façade).
This property will suit a first-time buyer seeking a well-presented home with strong transport links, or an investor looking for a low-maintenance lettable flat with a private garage. The combination of long lease, modest service charge and proximity to woodland and good schools adds long-term appeal.
